It would be interesting to see a comparison between this effort and the JIT compiler for PHP developed by Facebook (which has now evolved into its own PHP dialect called Hack).

Random searching found a test that indicates that four years ago, HHVM was 30% faster than PHP 7 on Wordpress. And PHP 8's JIT is (according to the authors) 3.5% faster than PHP 7.3 on Wordpress. YMMV.

Not JIT based, but for comparison of HHVM with PHP there's https://kinsta.com/blog/hhvm-wordpress/ - see about 1/3 of the way down which seems to show PHP 7.2 is faster than HHVM (at least for Wordpress)

https://hhvm.com/blog/2018/09/12/end-of-php-support-futur... - HHVM dropping support for PHP - so any comparison is going to be difficult.
